I wanted to give a truly detailed experience about the usage of this mixer. I have had this mixer officially for a month now, because I had purchased it on May 21st and now it's June 21st and I have made dough for cinnamon rolls, two cakes ~ a chocolate & a lemon, plus, a fruit dip with this mixer. So, I have used all three attachments and all 6 speeds. ONE QUICK NOTE & TIP: DO NOT WASH THE ATTACHMENTS IN THE DISHWASHER, instead, wash with super cool water, so, that the paint or the material won't peel off. BY THE WAY, make sure to dry off the attachments with a paper towel before and after every use. I know, on the website, it says you CAN wash in the dishwasher, but DON'T. I read the manual and it also says not to as well, but anyway... let's talk about my experience with each baked good:- The Dough: I enjoyed using the dough hook. It was nice and it did whip the dough around like butter, but make sure you have enough flour. I will admit, you do have to stop and wipe down the sides, in order, to incorporate all of the flour.- The Cakes: The paddle was nice, but I have to tell the truth & give a thorough review, the mixer paddle never really whips the bottom at all. You have to stop and make sure that the bottom ingredients are being incorporated. You have to OR you will be stuck with lumpy or unmixed batter. So, for example, if you are creaming butter and sugar, before you add your eggs, stop the mixer and using a rubber spatula, fold the butter mixture and you scrape the bottom and the sides with that same rubber spatula, then place the head of the mixer back down and proceed with your recipe. I have to say, also, make sure to slowly add in your flour mixture, please, don't just dump all of the flour in the mixer or you will have lumpy and unmixed batter as well.The Fruit Dip: I used the whisk attachment and I will admit the speed of 5 and 6 was consistent and it truly did do a great job, however, you have to scrape the bottom and the sides of the bowl or you will be left with lumpy dip with traces of unmixed ingredients.Overall, I enjoy the stand mixer, however, the attachments don't really get the bottom or cover the circumference of the bowl well, but I enjoy the quiet nature and the sleek design. The mixer is gorgeous to look at and it is a workhorse. I have done it all and I am ready to bake even more bake goods with this mixer.Overall, 5/5!
